Who's ready for race season... As you can see I'm not quite ready yet!

I can't believe it snowed here this morning!

Eh... Just more patina on the paint I guess, and additional old car must smell from the leaking Windows. Lol

I don't know how you guys deal with the winters up there. Heck, we were crying about the heat racing at MATS in Vegas this weekend. Hope you get thawed out soon. Love that car And, to me there's no better smell than original 60's Mopar interior

Well, since you asked.

1) Machine shop isn't done with my short block yet.

2) Lenco has been working on my ST-1200 since before Thanksgiving so that particular car project is stalled.

3) We are looking forward to a week of 50's (high temp) and rain so more on the way for you.

Here is a picture of our convertible that we cleaned up and were cruising around in yesterday.

I have Match Race Madness event at Barona April 18.... then I'm probably done till October. Boat season starts!

It's days like those that make me glad I left MI. As for if I'm ready, no. Waiting on some parts. Made a few minor changes to Heads, Valvetrain and Cam for my G3. Should be ready in a few weeks.

Not....Bit off more than I could chew, add hernia surgery to that, and I may not make it....at least with none of my junk. I need a hood, coil overs, push rods, convertor, dyno time. The hood is my biggest problem at the moment. Off on short term disability and I have not seen a single dime yet.

Going to have to run my engine builders 69 Hemi Barracuda instead....I like the wheelies it does, so that's a plus....

I cleaned out the mouse nest that was in the valley pan of my mud bogging truck. backed the second one into the shop to pull the small block out, the 512 is one Hughes order away from being finished was just hoping the Canadian dollar would smarten up.

I decided to raise my Rampage up 1.25".. it was too
low for the trashed Mi roads... I had to cut the upper
strut mounts off and weld on some new brackets so the
strut pistons are in the right location.. sure did
like it setting low... I'll finish up tomorrow

change the oil and lets go racing.

I haven’t touched the ’62 since it puked trans fluid all over the starting line at Norwalk.

Between getting the new turbo kits thing going, wife’s new job, and moving up the ladder here at Chrysler 4 times in the last 15 months, spring race prep time has been at a premium!!!

The only good thing is that I'm picking up the new tow vehicle today...

2015 Ram 2500 6.4L Hemi 4 x 4 Laramie Crew Cab!!!

So the tow vehicle is at least ready! LOL

Just changed the oil and put the diaper on only left is to try and make this pig look halfway decent...

I have to put a couple of tires on the trailer...change the oil in the race car...drain the coolant...and install a new TB solenoid. Then off to Richmond.

Maybe next year...

Haha uhhhh no.... But at least it's not snowing!! Haha that sucks Scott!!!

Thanks Mike! It will go down the track! Just with another driver in it. New front shocks and dropping about 200# off the car should help!

I sometimes wish that Florida had a longer "off-season"!

1) New engine for the Dart Sport on engine stand for several months.

2) Been wanting to check my ring & pinion for the last year.

3) Car needs new SS springs, but still working ok.

4) Needs front end alignment checked.

5) 2004 Dodge diesel dually w/135,000 miles still has original antifreeze, belt and hoses and I'd like to get the valves checked.

6) Been slowly working on an NHRA Stock Aspen wagon, but engine not ready and needs work to fit new fuel cell and weight box. Then testing for the first time with a TQ!



I went to Gainesville during the first weekend of Jan. and only won a couple of rounds.

IHRA divisional double header in Immokalee, FL in early Feb. Only won a few rounds but tied for 4th with 2 others in Div. 2 Stock.

Big footbrake race in Virginia couple of weeks ago, but only won a few rounds.

Super Chevy @ Palm Beach, FL. Southern Stock/Super Stock Association was invited to race there. Went a few rounds Sat. & won on Sunday.

Too much "stuff" going on in everyday life to do everything I need to even when I have a few weeks between races.

Getting there. Just finished rebuilding my clutch. Changing some clutch linkage stuff around. Also replaced heims in my 4 link bars and new bars.
Have spent a bunch of time redoing some trim. And still need new tires. Thinking I might try some MT's instead of my phoenix's.
Time flies.
